Science fiction’s most-lovable smuggler might just throw the Millenium Falcon
into hyperdrive once more: Hollywood rumours suggest that Harrison Ford is
poised to reprise his role as Han Solo.

In November, Disney said it would buy George Lucas’s studio, Lucasfilm, in a
$4 billion deal that paved the way for a slew of new Star Wars films,
the first of which is expected to be released in 2015. Last month it emerged
that JJ Abrams, who recently rebooted Star Trek to critical acclaim and
commercial success, will direct it.
